vacuum cleaners - HADave - 12-06-2007 We were thinking about vacuum cleaners and were wondering how the dampness will affect things like the filters and bags..... Do any of you have any suggestions on which brand, model, and type to bring with us? We thought about a Dyson bagless.....pet hair will be a concern for us Thanks for any input here Aloha HADave & PeggyAnn RE: vacuum cleaners - ArtM - 12-06-2007 We love our Dyson! The final-stage HEPA filter is essentially foam and washable, can't imagine it being affected by humidity. We have four cats, Dyson does a superb job picking up the hair. ArtM RE: vacuum cleaners - Les C - 12-06-2007 We second and third votes on the animal hair model of Dyson (has a special head for vaccuming hair from furniture upholstery). Cost a bit more than some but it's well worth it. We got it while living in CA with 4 cats, brought it to Volcano, and it performs just great for us and our (now) 2 cats. Humidity doesn't seem to affect it. RE: vacuum cleaners - Royall - 12-06-2007 We've go the Dyson also and don't even have wall to wall, just a couple of area rugs. No bags to buy or throw away. Should last a life time. Royall What goes around comes around! RE: vacuum cleaners - HiloHaole - 12-06-2007 The Dyson with the "Ball" is worth every penny. You can easily vacuum with one hand as it turns soooooo easy. What you do with the other hand is discretionary. RE: vacuum cleaners - Kapohocat - 12-07-2007 Also with the bagless vacuums, we put the dustballs in our compost. The birds come and pick some of the fuzz and use it for their nests. Another thing to keep out of the landfill! RE: vacuum cleaners - Lokahi - 12-07-2007 We have a built in Beam brand vacuum system that we believe is the nicest home care appliance on the planet. Is that an option living in Puna? RE: vacuum cleaners - HADave - 12-10-2007 Sorry to be so long saying thanks for everyones opinion. Been busy cleaning up SNOW!!! Anywho We have all but gone out and made the purchase just being sure we have found the best price. A Store called Linens and Things has it with a 20% off coupon (Reg retail 549.00) PeggyAnn is choking abit but once she cusses a few more times using the Harmony she has now she'll make the trip meanwhile I'll keep a lookout for yet a lower price.....hope a hope a hope Aloha HADave & PeggyAnn S. China / Kurtistown PS Showing the house once a week....funny the 1st and last wouldbe buyer were both from California.....kinda odd we thought but hey whatever it takes works for us. I'm writing to Santa Claus hoping he might bring us a buyer for Xmas ![]() RE: vacuum cleaners - aline - 12-10-2007 Dave,Just in case it works could you put in a message for me too.Stuck in the snow like Dave. |
